Strawberry Shortcake Trifle

-

This is the perfect dessert for Valentine's Day! The colors are beautiful and it tastes divine! Quick and simple to put together. Just make sure you have a beautiful bowl to present the dessert. I used this pretty punch bowl and it just makes a great presentation.

You will need:
1 large store bought Angel Food Cake

Strawberry Glaze
1 cup of sugar
3 Tbs. strawberry jello mix
3 Tbs. corn starch
1 cup water
1 lb. strawberries, sliced (save a few whole strawberries for garnish)

Custard
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
1 14 oz. can of condensed milk
1 16 oz. container of frozen whipped topping, thawed

To make the strawberry glaze you will need to add the sugar, jello mix and corn starch to a medium sauce pan. Whisk to combine. While whisking add the water. Place over medium heat and continue to whisk until the mixture comes to a boil. Boil for 1 minute. Set aside to cool. When the mixture has cooled add the sliced strawberries to the glaze and toss.

To make the custard, you will need to place the softened cream cheese in a large bowl and beat with a mixer until creamy. Add the condensed milk and beat until combined. Add half of the whipped topping and beat and then add the other half and beat again until nice and creamy.
 You will now need to cut the Angle Food Cake with a serrated knife, horizontally, into 3 equal layers.


You can now begin to assemble the trifle by first placing a layer of cake onto the bottom of the bowl. Add 1/3 of the strawberry glaze over the cake layer.

Add 1/3 of the custard over the strawberry glaze layer.

And repeat the process until the trifle is completely assembled. Place a few whole strawberries on top for garnish.


Place in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight. Enjoy!

    I adore any kind of quiche. I know that lots of women say that men don't like quiches. I promise you that this quiche is hardy enough for a man, LOL! This quiche is not made with a pie crust. I use hash brown patties for the crust and there's a whole lot of linguica and cheese in it also. Try it and you will not regret it! Here we go! Ingredients: 2 Tbs. extra virgin olive oil 2 cups of chopped linguica 1/2 of a medium sized onion, chopped 7 frozen hash brown patties, thawed 8 eggs 1 cup of milk 1 tsp. salt 1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper 1 tsp. garlic powder 1 cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese Preparation: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Press the crumble hash brown patties onto the bottom of a 9 inch deep dish pie plate. Place in the oven and bake for 10 minutes. Remove fro

Portuguese Baked Beans/ Feijao Assado

This dish is a portuguese traditional dish. This recipe is usually made with dry beans but,  I use the canned beans because it is much quicker to make this way. I love to eat this over a white rice but, my favorite way is to have it as a sandwich in a portuguese pop. My mom always made sandwiches with these beans for my dad and herself to bring for lunch. It is an inexpensive dish and is absolutely delicious. You will need: 2 Tbs. of extra virgin olive oil 1 medium onion, chopped 1 Tbs. of portuguese paprika 1 lb. of linguicia or chourico, chopped with casing removed 1/2 of a package of smoked bacon, chopped (about 1 cup) 4 (15.5 oz.) cans of cannellini beans 3/4 cup of good red wine Salt and Pepper to taste 1/4 cup of chopped parsley (optional) Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Farenheit. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Then, add onion, paprika, linguica and bacon. Let these ingredients cook until the onions are translucent and the linguica is a bit
